NSW, Australia - JOST Australia., a truck parts supplier, has introduced latest innovation, the JSK38CX Heavy Duty fifth wheel, to the Australian market. This advanced fifth wheel, arriving from Brazil, is set to replace the previous JSK39C model, bringing enhanced performance and durability to the forefront of the commercial vehicle industry.

Designed with efficiency in mind, the JSK38CX fifth wheel is engineered to deliver superior functionality, ensuring a smoother and more reliable towing experience. The new model features a 90mm-centre design, which is optimized to provide enhanced load distribution and stability during operation, significantly boosting the overall efficiency of the vehicle. This robust fifth wheel is available in multiple mounting heights, giving customers greater flexibility in their setup and ensuring compatibility with a wide range of vehicle configurations.

The JSK38CX offers customizable options like fixed plate, ball race, and slider assemblies, allowing fleet operators to select the best configuration for their needs.

JOST continues to lead the market with innovative solutions that improve efficiency, safety, and performance.

Mr. Corey Povey, General Manager of JOST Australia, said, "It is the ideal fifth wheel for heavy-duty and multi combination applications. It comes with a D-Value of 260kN and has a 38-tonne imposed load rating. So, it’s going to be a great fit within our 2025 product portfolio, ticking the box for many options with just the one casting. The fifth wheel also comes standard with features such as C type mounting cushions which make it both extremely reliable and versatile. It’s all about comfort, safety and reliability. Globally, JOST is known for being innovative and delivering technology and safety to the market, and the JSK38CX is another example of this. I’m pretty sure we’re the only fifth wheel supplier in Australia that can offer a 90mm fifth wheel with these safety features.”
